What is bat guano cleanup?
Bat guano cleanup is the safe removal of bat droppings, urine staining and contaminated insulation from attics, walls and structures after bats have been humanely excluded. It includes respiratory protection, HEPA removal, disinfection, odor treatment and replacement of damaged insulation.
Cleanup comes after exclusion
Bats are protected wildlife, and some species found in Tennessee are federally listed. Exclusion should always be handled by a licensed wildlife professional, usually outside of maternity season, to make sure bats leave safely and cannot return.
Once exclusion is complete, guano and urine left behind can cause odor, stain ceilings and harbor fungal spores that cause histoplasmosis. We remove the guano and contaminated insulation with HEPA equipment and respirators, disinfect the attic and treat odor.
Signs of bat guano
- Small dark droppings that crumble to dust
- Ammonia odor in the attic or upper rooms
- Stains on ceilings or around vents
- Piles under roof peaks or gable vents
- Scratching sounds at dusk
- Bats seen leaving the roofline
Why guano needs professional removal
Guano looks harmless but is not.
Histoplasmosis
Fungal spores in guano can cause lung infection when inhaled.
Odor
Guano and urine produce strong ammonia odor that can enter living spaces.
Structural staining
Urine and guano stain and weaken drywall and wood.
Pests
Guano attracts insects that can spread into the home.
